Causes of Folliculitis

What is folliculitis? It is the inflammation of hair follicles, caused by more than a few factors. The folliculitis causes are of two types - infectious folliculitis and non-infectious folliculitis. The first one is more common than the latter. You will obtain it from hair damage caused by rubbing from clothing, shaving, physical injury etc. The infections one you will acquire when oils and greases applied to the skin clog up the hair follicles and lead to non-infectious folliculitis.

Talking of sudden hair loss, one healing method that I found interesting is traction alopecia treatment. It is a simple treatment if you apply it in the early ages. For example, you can just modify your hairstyle putting excessive strain on your roots.
